A salvage vehicle is one that costs more to repair than it’s worth. If the cost of repairs exceeds a certain percentage of its value (typically 75-100%), it’s declared salvage and can’t be legally driven until repaired and inspected.

 

A junk vehicle is deemed non-repairable and is only valuable for parts or scrap. These vehicles must be disposed of and cannot be registered for use on public roads.

 

A rebuilt vehicle was once classified as salvage but has been repaired to meet safety and anti-theft standards. While they can be driven, the rebuilt status will be permanently noted on their title and registration.

 

These terms describe the severity of damage and the vehicle’s condition. Junk vehicles are non-repairable, salvage vehicles require significant repairs, and total loss refers to insurance-designated vehicles that exceed repair costs. Each category is defined by state titling agencies based on the level of damage.
